Altaria may look more like a living cloud than a dragon, but don't be fooled by its adorable, elegant appearance. This Dragon- and Flying-type Pokemon can pack quite a punch in a Pokemon battle! In addition, Altaria now has a Mega Evolution in Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire (although its Mega Evolution doesn't look any more threatening).
If you are wondering why this adorable Pokemon is this week's "Dragon of the Week", it is because despite looking so adorable, friendly, and non-threatening, Altaria can still be a very powerful Dragon-type Pokemon to have on your team. As of Pokemon X and Pokemon Y, Altaria can also learn the move Moonblast, which is not a Dragon- or Flying-type move at all, but a Fairy-type move! You heard it right. A Dragon-type Pokemon can learn a Fairy-type move. Crazy, man! Next, you'll be telling me that Wigglytuff (a Fairy-type Pokemon) can learn the move Dragon Pulse! Anyway, that's not the only reason Altaria is "Dragon of the Week." Altaria also evolves from the Normal- and Flying-type Pokemon, Swablu. Honestly, can it get any cuter, folks?
